Davao — The Felcris Group is expanding its footprint in the hospitality sector with the upcoming soft opening of its newest Cris Inn branch in Davao City. Set to welcome its first guests on July 24, 2026, the hotel is strategically located on Washington Street within the Poblacion District, offering prime accessibility near the iconic Andres Bonifacio rotunda monument.
Strategic Location and Guest Experience
Positioned in the city's bustling center, the new hotel aims to cater to both tourists and locals by offering proximity to essential landmarks including malls, museums, coffee shops, and healthcare facilities. The soft launch will unveil 63 out of the property's 186 planned rooms, with a grand opening celebration expected to follow in the next two to three months. Guests can expect comfortable, air-conditioned accommodations complete with free Wi-Fi and breakfast, with nightly rates currently ranging from ₱1,900 to ₱3,300.
Modern Amenities and Future Expansion
While the hotel currently partners with external providers for food and beverage services, management has already confirmed plans to introduce an in-house kitchen by next year. The facility also features flexible function rooms capable of hosting small groups of 30 up to larger events of 300 guests, making it a versatile choice for meetings and celebrations. This expansion reflects the Felcris Group's broader strategy of providing convenient and comfortable lodging options across Mindanao, with existing branches already established in Bayugan, Tagum, and Samal, and a new location in Digos on the horizon.
Ready for the Kadayawan Season
The timing of the launch is intentional, as the hotel staff is preparing for the influx of visitors expected during the upcoming Kadayawan Festival in August 2026. By opening just ahead of the city's most anticipated cultural event, Cris Inn Davao is positioning itself as a key player in supporting the local tourism surge. The hotel's arrival is a welcome addition to the city's hospitality landscape, offering travelers a fresh, central, and budget-conscious place to stay as they participate in the festivities.
